Donald Trump says he’s “absolutely” considering withdrawing the US from NATO at the same time as the US and its European allies are divided over the Iran war. This latest flare up in NATO, together with the US involvement in the war, raise urgent questions about the alliance’s future and America’s global role. This DW News analysis looks at why European countries are not taking part in the Iran war, how Trump’s rhetoric is shifting, and the legal barriers to US withdrawal. We speak to Kori Schake from the American Enterprise Institute about whether this could mark a historic turning point for the world, comparable to past moments when global powers lost influence.
